Apparently unbowed by recent moves by the music-publishing industry to
go after companies that make it easier to find lyrics on the web, Google plans to
make music info more readily available via searches. The new feature, set to debut today, will work much like Google's existing system for searching for stock quotes or news from within its core engine, bumping relevant info to the top of a list of search results. Results will include official sites for groups, sites that legally sell music and, yes, sites that offer lyrics and sheet music. So, music publishers, are you ready to take on Google, or are you going to keep on just
bullying the little guys (or how about just packing it in and recognizing that there's nothing illegal about helping people find info that's already out there on the net)?
